Maybe you are stretching a little too far, maybe the muscles need to be relaxed first. Get you physio to show you again exactly how to do the exercises. Both are painful areas to work on and you probably need to take it a little easier - I've found slow and easy usually does the trick - but do ask your physio for advice - that's what they are there for - to help you.

Excessive pain indicates you may be doing more harm than good. Do not continue the exercise until you review it with your therapist. Best wishes and good luck. Yes.
